Comment(by Eben):

 Replying to [ticket:5693 mburns]:
 > One option is to bookmark the desired site in Browse, however, to access
 that bookmark again (rendered as a list of thumbnails on the bottom of a
 Browse activity window), I need to resume the *same* journal entry of that
 activity each time (negating the usefulness of the Frame) and then click
 the appropriate bookmark.

 This is the primary intended interaction.  The thought here is that you
 are saving a "browse session", and that within that session there are any
 number of related bookmarks.  Thus, you might keep a "web comics" session,
 a "news and blogs" session, and a "science report" session around in the
 Journal.  As you find new comics, new blogs, or new sources and bookmark
 them, the sessions evolve.

 We also intend to have an "offline bookmark"which will result in a new
 (separate) Journal entry for the page you are on at the time. It will
 store just the page, not the whole session, but it will also include an
 offline copy of the page so that it can be looked at again later from a
 location without connectivity.  When opened, it will offer the option to
 refresh the offline copy with an up to date version.

 Finally, there is of course a possibility of providing a more
 comprehensive, cross-session searchable history which includes a list of
 all URLs bookmarked in any instance, but we haven't even begun thinking
 about how to support that yet.
